Autozone has a system like this, and the next-to-most expensive have a
lifetime guarantee, while the most expensive only have a year. I got the
next-to-most expensive because the price jump was pretty big too. Of
course, realize that lifetime pads doesn't cover disks wearing out. I
wouldn't get the cheapies, especially considering that it is NAPA, but #2
or
#3 is probably a good deal. I didn't have a scientific rationale, just
what
I was prepared to pay and what I expected to get for that. Now if you're
racing that 2.5, and wearing out pads faster than once a year, then maybe
you qualify for the Severe Duty product.
